Adrock 0 #26 January 27, 2005 No, it completely does work this way...I haven't posted much on here but after I put a picture up I got more responses than before to posts. Not saying that's a bad thing ....there is a reason that we post pics on here. Addie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #27 January 27, 2005 Man oh man, its gotta be rough being a chick on the DZ...or worst on a DZ on the internet. I only had one DZ.com "stalker" and it was just a playful joke that she wanted to just keep in touch and was a gentle/nice person who liked to talk to her friends. I still miss her even though time has moved on, she was a nice friend to have.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

SarahC07 0 #33 January 27, 2005 It's not that bad... but I have just had ... 2 pretty crappy experiences with it.... but *shrugs* eh, it doesn't happen anymore.... When I started jumping I was 18 years old and oh so ignorant to many many worldly things .... heh, I'm not that much older now... but I'd say that skydiving (and growing up) in general has taught me a lot.... 'toughening up' and learning how to properly handle attention are probably 2 of the most relevant to this issue....
